had a meeting with some business associates today and we candidly talked about my dialect group and how rare it is.
them: so can you speak it? say something! (i felt like an alien ..again)
me: ok. -rattles off something-
them: so what's that?
me: big thumb, index finger etc.
them: you really should have learnt a more useful phrase like 'how are you?"
good point.
when i do find fellow hockchias, i literally scream 'big thumb, index finger' to let them know i'm a fellow kinsman.
